I know Ronnie, I went through school with him and indeed he did start with Judo at Sale West Centre.

I would love to read his biography, Iam aware that it is in progress and look forward to reading how he describes us lot back then. It will make an interesting read. The same people he knew back in his early teens are still his friends today. He is still the same person :) a good kid...now a good man.
